weird
I completed all easy exploration tasks on all islands previously except Ravenna, Akursis and Mount Othyrus
I assume itās because itāll end up like the first time I got a treasure chart on frostmill:
āOh cool a treasure chart- where the hell is Shell Island?ā
would be lame if you had unlimited stat resets for free at any level under the pretext that potions arent out yet. also it stops metamancers
i kinda agree with the changing magic thing tho, even if realistically you have no reason to change it unless you got bored of the theme as they are all extremely similar. its a bit unfair that you get to change your fighting style and weapons with almost no cost if any but magic is permanent
you donāt give any reason to justify that. all the true story does is point out issues with levelling up (which is what you should be suggesting changes for), which clearly wouldnt be fixed by removing the minimum required level between story parts
would just lead to more people getting stuck at bosses
permanent spawns yeah definitely, fast travel no
i do like that
so ive heard you cant abandon non repeatable quests since they change the world or something like that, but thatd be nice for repeatable ones
eh enchanting prices are pretty good right now. disenchanting is the issue tho, i dont think it needs to be nearly as expensive. could be the same as enchanting and i dont think there would be issues, at the end of the day youll still need to pay twice if you want to reroll the enchant (still giving a reason to get an item multiple times)
I agree stats should be reset at some cost, however you never know when potions are going to come out. And why does it have to be potions?
Also I donāt understand the whole point of āstoppingā metamancers, just a pointless thing to be a concerned about.
This is understandable, and there are many factors like messy PvE mechanics preventing players from beating bosses, being undergeared, ping issues, etc.
A simple solution is, make it so they donāt get stuck at bosses. We already get exp from damaging enemies, if players canāt beat the boss then give them an aid, like a huge-load of experience. Hitting one blast gives 10% exp to their current level, or everytime you fail to beat a boss for storyline you get an extra level.
Defeating bosses in this game is a mix of stat-checking and skill, there have already been a lot of players that meet the level requirements but still get stuck on the boss because they are undergeared. Atleast when level gain is increased, players will have a better chance stat-checking bosses.
Ever got unlucky? Personally I donāt understand the need for RNG in enchanting. Has there ever been anyone who thought of RNG in enchanting and thought: āOH BOY, WHAT A GREAT FEATURE THIS IS.ā
Actual major skill issue
This is a fucking mmo, you grind thatās what theyāre about. It just so happens this one has engaging systems built around it
Trading exists for a reason this forum facilitates it well
You are actually brain dead for suggesting fast travel it takes like 10 minutes tops to sail from one end of the sea to the other, and thatās with my mediocre or even below average ship.
You failed to understand how these systems grant xp or even really recognize the best sources of it
Please shut 
This entire topic is formulated like a temper tantrum mature before you post again
20-40 was never the issue
it was always the 83-93
and it still is because cargo is boring and ship combat is ass until level 90

god for the love of god this is the most single stupidest thing iāve ever heard. sorry, but really, thatās just not a good idea at all
mfw i did ship combat at like level 70 or smth
my rams and hull are just too strong ig ill try to get weaker ones
but just cannons are unbearable
especially with no hull making your ship squishy af
taking one hour to lvl up is funny asf.
This whole posts screams āI want Vetex to hold my hand and maybe give it a little kiss too uwuā. Itās an mmo, you arenāt supposed to be able to do thing first try. You arenāt supposed to beat a boss first try. You arenāt supposed to pick your favorite magic or stat build first time. And you almost certainly arenāt supposed to be a master of the game your first time playing. You keep getting lost? Learn how the compass and map works. You think it takes too long to get place to place? Upgrade your boat before you start travelling again. Iāve beaten AO on multiple files, it has its problems but most of your post was just ranting about stupid shit, the only real good points you brought up was the performance and not being able to cancel quests. The game isnāt always supposed to be fun, thatās basic game design. Itās fun because you do difficult things to get things you want. If boss drops reliably dropped within 10 boss kills then it wouldnāt take very long to get all the rare items in the game now would it. This post gave me an aneurysm
fr people would just let shura farm them until they get to max
imo vetex should never have nerfed the dueling mage or buff exploration tasks because HOLY is 83-93 boring as hell now
also the idea is that when you feel you are underleveld you go away and do quests and stuff and then come back. orrrrr you keep trying, learn the patterns and such until you beat them. it would feel so goddamn boring if i would just get level boosted all the time.
i mean me personally i just dont die to bosses
Could you explain?
I had a bad and frustrating experience in AO, many people had a bad and frustrating experience in AO.
I am speaking from my experience.
Iāve only ranted in my topic, and I am not planning on going after any individual. Iām trying to understand why people are so opposed to certain, possibly very beneficial features, of course I prefer more rational feedback from users.
Explain?
Well actually reduces by -5 means - (-5) which is equal to +5
